Toshiba Licenses Rambus XDR Memory and PCI Express Interface Solutions
Wednesday October 11, 8:00 am ET
XDR(TM) Memory Controller and PCI Express(R) Interface PHY Now Available in Toshiba 65nm Process Technology

LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rambus Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBS - News), one of the world's premier technology licensing companies specializing in high-speed chip interfaces, today announced that Toshiba has signed a license agreement for the Rambus XDR(TM) memory controller interface cell, dubbed XIO, and the Rambus PCI Express® Gen 1 PHY cell. The Rambus interface solutions will be implemented in Toshiba's 65nm process technology for integration into the latest consumer, computing, and communications applications.
"Rambus' renowned expertise in high-speed interfaces made their solutions an ideal choice for our state-of-art large scale integration (LSI) devices with high processing power for various applications," said Tomotaka Saito, General Manager of the Broadband System LSI Division at Toshiba's Semiconductor Company. "The addition of Rambus' XIO and PCI Express interface cells adds to the world-class portfolio of solutions we provide our customers."

The Rambus XIO memory controller is the high-performance, low-latency interface to Rambus' XDR DRAM, today's fastest high-speed memory. Ideal for graphics-intensive applications in consumer electronics and computing, a single, 2-byte wide, 3.2 GHz XDR DRAM component provides 6.4 GB/sec of peak bandwidth.

The advanced XDR memory architecture features four key enabling technologies built on patented Rambus innovations:

-- Differential Rambus Signaling Level (DRSL)
A low-voltage, low-power, differential signaling standard that
enables scalable multi-GHz, bi-directional, and point-to-point
data busses that connect an XDR memory controller (XIO) to XDR
DRAM devices.

-- Octal Data Rate (ODR)
A technology that transfers eight bits of data on each clock
cycle, four times as many as today's state-of-the-art memory
technologies that use DDR (Double Data Rate) clocking.

-- FlexPhase(TM)
A circuit technology that enables flexible phase relationships
between signals, allowing precise on-chip alignment of data with
clock.

-- Dynamic-Point-to-Point (DPP)
An innovation that maintains the signal integrity benefits of
point-to-point signaling on the data bus, while providing the
flexibility of capacity expansions with module upgrades. DPP was
recognized with a "2005 Innovation of the Year" award by
industry publication EDN Magazine.

"Toshiba is on the forefront of delivering breakthrough solutions for next-generation systems," said Laura Stark, senior vice president of Platform Solutions at Rambus. "This agreement continues the long and successful collaboration between our companies to provide state-of-the-art technology for today's most demanding computing and consumer electronics products."
